How will the Canadian federal leadership candidates rate with viewers?

Mychelle Mollot, CMO

I've always loved watching debates for any party, and for any political system. So much is riding on the candidates. Great candidates can be felled by a simple slip of the tongue. Mediocre candidates can come out on top, not for what they say, but for what they don't say.

With the Canadian Federal candidates and Republican leadership debates tonight, and fresh on the heels of our recent Talkwalker (Social Media Analytics tool) integration, my team and I wondered if we could build a dashboard to track the social sentiment of all the candidates in real-time as the debates unfold. The answer was yes, this is the result.

Build this dashboard yourself in three minutes or less!

It’s simple. If you are not already a Klipfolio customer, start a FREE trial and then follow these instructions:

Click on Add a Klip.

Select Klip Gallery if it isn’t highlighted already.

Scroll down the list of services until you find Talkwalker.

Click on Talkwalker, select the Sentiment over time Klip and then click on Add to Dashboard.

Enter the name of the politician (or celebrity or brand...) for whom you want to track social sentiment for example, “The Donald” and then click on Add Klip.

And voila, you have added a visualization to your dashboard similar to the Donald Trump Klip I shared earlier in this post. The data in this Gallery Klip is set to update every four hours, but you can build one that updates every minute.

Have fun!
